SC pitches in with 'age old' verbal chicanery

   Recently the SC added to the deviant narration, though it was hailed by clever media as “Appointment as priests can’t be denied on basis of caste, birth: SC” to showcase themselves as civilised people, but when you read through the fine line it is clear that this is a regressive verdict cloaked as it is in egalitarian intent while aggressively diluting the revolutionary zeal and fervour of social change by TN government in 1970s. Dravidian movement was probably one the very few genuine movement whose enlightened thoughts has been over the years appropriated and blunted by mediocrity justifying squatter’s way into complacency hence into another convenience to grab power in the template of feudal ways. The verdict states that “Appointment of 'Archakas' (temple priests) in Tamil Nadu as per the 'Agamas', treaties relating to its functioning, on Wednesday got the nod of Supreme Court which reiterated that any deviation from the age-old custom and usage would be an infringement of the freedom of religion”. Now we all know what age-old customs of this amazingly uncouth and primitive world is. Upholding these has quite clearly showcased the intent of Judges (whose credential can itself be questioned, given how tardy the legal system is, incompetence is self-evident. Oh yes contempt!!) Giving authenticity to some garbage (also referred to as “agama treatise”, the usage of word treatise is an attempt on giving this crap some civility I reckon) is where the SC has made fatal error of exhibiting itself enmeshed in squatter’s primitive world, indeed it is not surprising as we know their incompetence, acquiescing to elitist framework is how you work out the camaraderie and enhance career. There is ofcourse a world after retirement, and yes progenies have to be settled. Meanwhile verbal dexterity is evident as they try cover up their primitive ways, afterall we are supposed to be envy exuding democracy and this is 21st century!!. They add “...such appointment is not violative of the fundamental right to equality but the appointment of 'Archakas' should be in conformity with the Constitutional mandates and principles”. “…the exclusion of some and inclusion of a particular segment or denomination for appointment as 'Archakas' would not violate Article 14 (right to equality) so long such inclusion/ exclusion is not based on the criteria of caste, birth or any other Constitutionally unacceptable parameter”.  

Brilliant. You could always trust Judges with verbal jugglery and related chicanery. In simple terms it means that in the game of cannibals there is a rule, also treatise, that excludes section B, now SC agrees to this framework as it is ‘age old custom’, the context or intent of age old customs is none of SC business (clever people posit it as tolerance. Hence to meddle with this will be intolerance, the site of angst for liberal sickular elite). Meanwhile they assert that section B cannot be excluded if the age old custom doesn’t say so(?!!). Hence when you deviously put contradictory parameters to create confusion, you cleverly legitimate and illegitimate on the same go so that some egalitarianism percolates into primitiveness. It is a valiant effort by squatter enmeshed mylords. Meanwhile this confusion is used by the powerful devious people to control and perpetuate their worldview. This is an old game that gives semblance of democratic ways but in reality is degrading people. Very recently they handed over key, lock and barrel of Chidambaram temple to squatters, as part of “age old customs”. Ideally the age old customs should have been scrutinised on its human rights record, it will be clear that the custodians should not only be kept away but should be tried for perpetuation of gross violations and if they seek to make hereditary primitiveness and uncouth claims then they should be put behind bars. They can celebrate these vulgarities as culture and tradition in their little pits. The frogs can have their moments of exultation but outside the well it is going to be a different ball game, it is where the civilization begins. They will be scrutinised threadbare. I again call upon the international community to declare India as gross violator of human rights and casteism as worst form of violation, much worse than racism. The sickular primitive elite can con act the distraction of saving the mullah, the reality though is this is a diversion to hide the scrutiny on themselves. Meanwhile legitimatising mullah’s degradation also attempts at legitimising their own primitiveness. The more they seek to protect primitive ways of others (read feudal muslims) more they attempt at hallowed heights of tolerance, hence kindred souls for the world community, meanwhile very cleverly pass in their own degrading home truths as they usurp benefits.  You will notice that elite muslims (include feudal mullahs and hedonist liberals) are extremely sensitive to caste identities of elite hindus, hence assuage the egos of primitive Indian elite. This also fits into the narration of sickular elite keeping the hindus divided hence helping the mullah, hence sickularism, it’s a neat solidarity. It is the beginning of syncretic culture of a region that has appalling HDI index and disparities, and whose elites are known to be amazingly insular and insensitive brutes, devoid of basic decency or attributes of compassion and lacking any competence. Such nonviolence that it kills. Such harmonious peace that it scythe the soul out of any normal human being.

This blogger has enough evidence to prove that there is a very strong extra constitutional authority that functions quite viciously in the grapevine of camaraderie, in the sanctums of cash rich temples (very specifically the debauch’s at Tirupathi) that have overwhelming control over mainstream narration, and is indeed the site of nefarious understanding of powerful squatter ensconced elite. They may posit as political leaders of different parties, indeed loggerheads with each other (recently debauchery of Tirupathi was replicated in Delhi, juvenile and wasteful rituals that mocks at common people, ofcourse with a claim of ‘age old tradition’. All arranged in a sport stadium, in a country that has no use for sports and other exhibitions of competence. It is firmly on the narration of providence and miraculous happening. Kejriwal was seen stampeding with BJP and Congress leaders to get immediate blessings), market gurus, journalists, bureaucrats, corporate bosses, entertainers, judges, sickular intellectuals, feudal lords…so on but they all supplicate to this superior force. I am quite sure higher appointments and stimulus are very much influenced and encouraged by more than benign blessings from sanctum sanctorum. They may have differences but they patch it up for higher goals. It improves the chance of being President or Judges or could even smoothen relation soured by adverse public posturing (the devotion of Kasturi&Sons towards these debauchery has some compelling age old reasons and contemporary strategic alliance). It has the making of hand of destiny that blesses with untold good fortune as also severs brutally if erred. It is no surprise that Indian elite of all shades queue up to these ritual debaucheries in the garb of age old customs, they supplicate till it hurts. Meanwhile sickular liberal elite tug the tether occasionally as a matter of affection.



PS: …and yes to scrutinise these people who work on manipulation and deceits of camaraderie I had to keep myself unoccupied. The reason why common people are kept occupied in the daily drudgery and are also entertained. To add it needs sustained enquiry, being alert to happenings and nuances herein as also wide readings and understanding to get into the depth of Indian debauchery. There are personal tribulations but yes I am very much up for it. This is a long haul, and yes no mercy please.

Making a spectacle of tragedy


Nirbhaya’ was a gruesome tragedy, that it took place in Delhi is what changed things. The complacent policy makers were awakened by startled self-obsessed media. These things are unfortunately ‘normal’ happenings in most part of the country over ages. It is also reflection on mediocre Congress leaders, ruling for last six decades, who eked on sycophancy and manipulations, that these feudal lords were out of touch with people’s concern is exhibited from ineffective law&order machinery and archaic laws that were essentially cut and paste job of colonial rules without any context or relevance. Meanwhile we have to watch legal luminaries of all shades pirouetting the power centers with faintest of bearings and slickest touch to reality.

In this high profile case of ‘Nirbhaya’ (revealed by parents as Ms Jyothi Singh. Sardesaiji’s**t channel was playing on caste reference in the name with gusto, wherein the mother didn’t carry this demeaning reference. They have been milking this in every possible way, asking sickeningly personal question as the camera close focus the face of the victim's family, in gleeful anticipation of tears. Sadnezz Sellz. Sardesai with his appalling anglicized hindi, as if nobody else is suitable for this job, using his personal reference to try to get his branding going -an art you learn from self-obsessed mediocre protagonists of Bollywood and cricket -calling them artists/sportsperson is a stretch) the parents are easy low hanging fruits for manipulators. The family involved in the tragedy should be now be concerned on how they are being used. It is amazing reality of this uncouth society. 

Jyothi Singh’s family should be very careful, they are unfortunate novice in the murky world of power brokers and brand positioners who swarm like vultures on any hint of tragedy. Yesterday CrudeWoman was seen positioning herself for better camera angle next to victim’s mother. She has been languishing in the sidelines for sometime now, I guess now the itch is unbearable, with power and clout evaporating she is zeroing on this one. Victims are generally unaware of these higher stakes games, indeed you could almost see CrudeWoman salivating. Beware, very soon she will push the victims out to grab the center stage, then it is furious brand packaging to stratosphere of celebrity activism and gourmet spread. Her PR (fed lusciously for last decade of unbridled power and nepotism) is working overtime on this. CrudeWoman is fighting her own grim battle, as they snarl and claw in the stampede of staying relevant. All for our sake, saviours of people. Meanwhile fixers later meet to check the performance and plan further action as camera is readied. CrudeWoman&fixers have cleverly worked out their rojiroti except that for people around it's going to be just roti while wily CrudeWoman is already aiming for bhatoore.

Generally victims of any tragedy have best of intention that this misfortune (in Indian context it is never about tardy system or irresponsible policy makers but misfortune/fate of people. Guess which section has this tilted against? It is emulation of squatter template) doesn’t happen to anyone, and they genuinely expect changes, sometimes as redemption, as restoring dignity to departed souls in an amazingly crude society. The mother/father have best of intentions and we admire them for their courage that they use their immense personal tribulations to set the tardy system right. The system with amazing legal luminaries sidestepping to grab every type of gain possible as sycophantic politicians wait for signals from unknowable above. Meanwhile Ms. Jyothi Singh’s parents should be careful that they are not used by vested interests. To start with, no sharing of dais, keep an eye on creeping small time celebrities from the sidelines. These creeps will tomorrow emerge from some gala events with enhanced brand value.

It’s unfortunate that the parents have to undergo this nonsense, ideally the system should have been compassionate, if not, realized the mistake/lacuna and rectified on its own. A juvenile cannot be considered a juvenile if the crime is of adult nature as also carries the awareness of consequence. Is that difficult to comprehend?

PS: **Henceforth scoundrels with regressive casteist references will be encapsulated (choicest invective added) with their degraded identity and added "ji". That is Gandhian way of dealing things, i guess (Visit me at www.depalans.blogspot.com to get the context on this). It is amazing that Indian elite is so disgustingly depraved. I am understanding their existential angst and consternation as the rug is pulled, all nakedness and depravity out in the open. The liberal high moral ground has hole bigger than all clan can fill in. No verbal dexterity is going to be of much help here. Now only the monarchy references of the West can save their entitled souls, the parity in unethical ways is an opening for Indian elite.       

PSZ: ZK says ‘budiya ka brandingz ab Vibhushan levelz ka ho gaya hai. Bohuth aage nikal gayi hai ye. Koi nahi rok sakta isko”. When asked about climate change ZK scowls "Carbonz footprintz ki ma ki ankh"...more on these hedonist's conspicuous consumption as they try save us. Some other time, believe me the degradation is breath taking.

The ‘savage Arab’ narration

Comics are not quite innocent as it seems to be. There are racist references seen in Tintin, Herge was even accused of being a Nazi sympathiser. Indian mythology is full of regressiveness that is illustrated without much care as comics, unlike endearing Jatakas, these are much sinister. Even exquisite mangas are accused of being too sexualised. In short comics are hotbed of ideologies. Now ofcourse illustrations have become much serious and tackle grievous issues. But comics are primarily targeting children hence these blatant ethical transgression needs to be dealt severely. This blogger was seriously into comics, and didn’t think much while reading, enjoying the story and remarkable illustrations so on. I recall when I was in Chennai, after my college, I was quite hooked to Commondo comics. I got into understanding with a street book seller, who earnestly pursued these for me and lend it. Many times I used to finish it in the nearby tea shop so on, meanwhile I was in some sales job and these were during what was supposed to be ‘office time’, the manager used to give wtf look!! Never was much bothered. Anyway the point here is since I wasn’t much into thinking, or maybe not much aware, I used to consume these without much thought, as most people do. Recently I was reading Commondo comics, and amazingly I was appalled.     

These are really quite racist, and this random one I was reading had ‘savage arab’ narration, ironically the brutal colonial soldiers from Europe where seen as civilising force, so much so that the British soldier even sided with Nazi soldier to teach arab brutes lessons on civility. White men as superior with ‘inbred’ qualities while Arabs uncouth is the underlining theme (note the picture of the illustration herein and underlined sentences, indeed there is a blatant reference to “forces of Islam”, “unholy triumph” so on, hence European soldiers are crusaders. Grievously this only an example of single page taken randomly!!). Shouldn’t these be dealt severely? Wonder how these racist (in this case communal/degrading clichés) materials exist? You will find similar theme in many Hollywood movies, of course much subtler, white men with bigger guns saving the world for us, these cultural hegemony though cannot hide the realities. American soldiers are literally foot soldiers of arms dealers and oil barons. As someone was mentioning they wouldn't have attacked Iraq if it was about asparagus!!

It is in this context that another of my areas of interest, the science fiction stories, is increasingly being occupied by far right groups. I find that disturbing. Science fictions are amazing speculative brilliance, and who can forget Arthur Clarke, Asimov (despite his stupid joke books), Wells or Vernes. The recent trend towards white supremacist in science fiction is too pre modern frame to be taken seriously I guess. It falls in the general trend of postmodern identity angst, hence the revivalism. The grand conception of self as extension of faith/group/race is constant anchor for insecure souls in tachyon speed altering nano space in quantum craziness!!

Inability to see humans

This fictional reality of religion has really gone too far and is quite clearly assuming a debilitating context. It is bringing in muck that is claimed as human rights almost always undermining humanity. India is a society that is increasingly hinged on regressiveness, immune to egalitarian ways or thoughts. It is a coalition of degeneration, the worst of religious ways are tolerated and this primitiveness is elevated as tolerance, as some kind of wonders of multicultural society. The cringe worthy acceptance of deviant ways is cleverly orchestrated by feudal patriarchy, the power brokers who are amazingly insular and intolerant to compassionate ways meanwhile firm grip on narration. The liberal is assorted by wanton hedonistic culture that craves for western pointers. Amazing degradation is testament to the mediocrity of Indian elite.

Few minutes back I was reading about ‘Gandhi and cow slaughter’, and how it is seen as divergent from Hindu fundamentalists (our historian was ecstatic about this and provided the link in his twitter, an article in Economic Times). There is a divergence alright but it is not on egalitarian framework nor is it enlightened thoughts that are expected from a ‘mahatma’. It is hinged on religious power structure and patriarchy as basis, most significantly it doesn’t see human being as humans but followers of some religion hence a sacrosanct reference. That surely is gandhian path which egalitarian tradition of this society have always resisted and have problems with. Gandhi was politician, hence assumes himself to represent hindus as such the assumption that cows are sacred to hindus hence not eaten. Firstly, Gandhi’s, or for that matter any elitist hindu's, feudal and sinister caste hinged claim on common people was never accepted, this biased narration was spread by powerful interest, a fallacy that hinduism was monolithic. Secondly, journey of cows as domestic animal to its status as sacred is rather torturous. This is an imposition on Hindus by squatter inspired clever ways, that expectantly Gandhi acquiescence to, indeed the sorry state of affairs could be traced to these paradoxes. The article states that “while Gandhi denied vehemently that he was trying to trade Hindu support for the Muslim’s Khilafat movement with Muslim support for Hindu cow-protection, he did admit that this would be an ideal example of both communities respecting each other’s interests”. The reality however was Khilafat did not represent common people (read muslims, if it works for you) nor was cow an issue with common people (read hindus, if it works for you). This “both communities respecting each other’s interests” is a clever feudal patriarchy consolidation, the egotism and arrogance herein and within this elitist coterie led to worst massacre of common people, to the horrendous reality of partition. Incidentally they commemorate and celebrate British Indian soldier’s sacrifices in “world wars” but no such luck for million who were sacrificed in partition not even a day of commemoration nor any memorial (I went to a shoddy room in Amritsar at jallianwala bagh). The complicity of mediocre Indian elite is evident; it’s the high moral ground that really baffles me.   

Just as Shariat could not be imposed on non-Muslims, Hindu law could not be imposed on non-Hindus” says Gandhi, quite practical and spoken like a politician. The egalitarian context that he missed is that no unjust law can be applied to any human being anywhere, that includes shariat or indeed hindu laws (I wonder from where did he get the ideas on hindu laws? It isn’t surprising from the pits of unethical traditions and colonial laws expert lawyers emerged as freedom fighters, and so they rule the roost even now. The society with amazingly tardy legal system and uncouth social framework has astounding legal luminaries. This is indeed an incredible society!). In civilized world these kind of medieval practices will be questioned. Everything is open for scrutiny and religion is not at all sacrosanct, nor anyone born into a religion. This kind of classification of human beings is the worst violation of individual freedom and liberty.

It is in this context that this blogger is seriously concerned on learning that separate food is provided for school children belonging to a religion in Germany or the choices herein (this was quite proudly claimed by one Indian Muslim located in Germany, in Ravish kumar show). This is shocking. Schools must deem everyone as equal, and shouldn’t encourage prejudices and segregating food habits. Human beings are not born into any religion hence an egalitarian conception must insist on secular ways, therefore children shouldn’t be exposed to any discriminating or segregating ways. They should learn to live with others and eat all kinds of food that other eat and learn to share. There are millions of people (includes children) who don’t have much to eat, malnourishment is rampant across the world. Religious sensitivity is a fictional reality that shouldn’t be imposed on children.  

Most significantly, in context to Germany, the openness should not be misused by immigrants. Least that is expected from immigrants is to be accommodating and not to impose their worldviews. Unfortunately these are leading to increasing xenophobia in Europe. And I am concerned about Europe, indeed Germany, since these are the society that are vibrant and open, critical thinking and scientific temper thrive in these places. They value human liberty and equality. They are the one who holds the key for technological breakthrough that can save us from increasingly inclement conditions. These cannot come from fictional realities, therefore the overwhelming presence and increasing concerns for these is alarming.
